My daughter is 5 months old, she sleeps most comfortably on stomach, doc says it might suffocate her but she keeps her head sideways and breathes properly. She wakes up again n again if I make her sleep sideways or on back. Is it fine if she sleep 4 hours straight on stomach?

As long as u monitor her regularly there should not be any issues in her sleeping on her tummy athough avoid loose bed sheets and pillows near her
